LAN HTTP Server redirect?

[Cell]

Hi all,

I am wondering if it would be possible to set up LAN computers to redirect
to an HTTP server (192.168.0.100) on the LAN by typing a domain name in
internet explorer.

To explain further - is there anyway I can set up a LAN computer to connect
to 192.168.0.100 by typing, for example, www.help.com in internet explorer?
(instead of going to the actual www.help.com it should redirect internal LAN
computers to 192.168.0.100 instead).

I think this would be a lot easier than to have to type the numerical
address.

All computers are connected to a router.

Thanks very much!

Use a hosts file:

192.168.0.100 www.help.com

The hosts file is stored in WINNT\System32\Drivers\etc\
